It's that time of year where we try to figure out what everyone on our list wants. Audiophiles can be particularly hard to shop for. So, I've compiled a list of items that most audiophiles, both aspiring and old, would appreciate.

Grado SR80i ($99.00): These headphones from Brooklyn, NY provide an engaging listening experience. The Grado's were one of my favorite headphones as a young audiophile.

Caig Labs A/V Cleaner (34.95): This kit inlcudes all the necessary cleaning solutions and applicators to keep your audiophile's system in tip-top shape.

Omega Headphone Stand ($179.00): Sieveking Sound of Germany produces these lovely bent-wood headphone stands. Available in several wood finishes, these handsome stands will help keep your audiophile's headphones nearby and ready for action.

Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 speakers (349.00): An excellent pair of small speakers for the young or budding audiophile. You could even use these in a small office or bedroom.

Audioquest Dragonfly DAC ($250.00): A USB DAC/soundcard for your computer with an 1/8 in output for headphones or connecting directlly to your stereo. With high quality sound and definition, the Dragonfly DAC will be a great present for the audiophile on-the-go, or a new inductee to Hi-Fidelity sound.

If you are still uncertain what to get the audiophile on your list, I recommend a gift certificate to a local record store. Music is the key indgredient and several online stores provide LP's, CD's, & SACD's; Music Direct, Acoustic Sounds, and The Elusive Disc.
